Good ol Franklin! We still use it, on a Mac running Parallels. All the press info was baked into it before I started here 20+ years ago. For digital, we apply math into an Additional Operation. It works well for us - but yes, very very old.

You can buy decent-isn Windows-based PC/laptops for under $1,000. When the time comes, I'm thinking about just having a separate machine for Windows. We've been very lucky to have Parallels on a 2011 iMac for such a long time. But the clock is ticking on when this thing will crap out on me.

We've had the exact same trouble. On our old Ricoh C901, it was a frequent problem, and our technician DID suggest using one fuser for large stock and another for smaller stock. Those fusers were so heavy, this solution didn't last long AT ALL. So, we just called the tech when it became a...

The auto image position (31 sheets) is annoying when first setting up a paper, but after that it's usually spot on. We like it.

Agreed! It's very exciting, and interesting. Definitely won't be ditching any work machines just yet, lol.

Feel free to take your mask off. Mine is staying on.

Not sure how it compares, but I see another sheetfed label finisher here. https://www.dpr-llc.com/en/gemini-digital-finishing-system-sheets.html Price shows $4,400 via a different website.

I like the 5184 pixels mask. That's clever.

I have the Epson C6500. I first tried printing with a Mac, and the colors were ridiculous - completely washed out. Connecting to a PC w/ their print driver was much better - still didn't blow me away though. The color difference between screen and printout was pretty significant. In the...

Success! Once you push the label through into the machine, it goes a little then eventually hits a barrier. You have to continue applying pressure towards that barrier for it to pickup the label. At least, that's how I got it to work anyway.

I think I've seen it, but it was a few weeks ago before I even bought the machine. I'll look again, thanks!

I bought the Epson C6500A (in part because of the glowing review from that Youtube page above). After setting it up last night, I spent about 2 hours trying to load a roll of paper into the machine with zero success. When you slide the front of the roll in, the machine is supposed to detect it...

Even window envelopes? If yes, do you buy special ones for use on a digital press? We are considering the 7100, so I presume the envelope capability will be available there as well.

We run plenty of NCR jobs through our Ricoh C901. For high quantity NCR and envelopes of any kind, we use a QM or SM-52 for those. Good luck in your search!

The cartoon is silly, and on point. I don't know anything about the woman in the video. I copied the info below from the CDC website. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Wear masks in public settings when around people not living in your household and particularly where other social...

Pretty crazy. Makes me wish I owned Kodak stock.

No Prepress layoffs here in Texas. We did receive the Payroll Protection Plan, or whatever it was called, so we couldn't let anyone go. We implemented an alternating schedule for Prepress and other departments throughout the company to keep people from standing around on top of each other...

Our Macs aren't what I would call "bleeding edge", and they never have been. They work, and that's the most important part. If we need one in the near future, I'll be looking for Mac refurbs (with Intel) before buying one of the new ARM based machines. I'm fine to let others test the waters.

FYI, Affinity has a 90-day free trial right now, or you can purchase their software for half price. ($25 for each). However, the promotion ends June 20.

We used to have a set of Xante laser printers in our Prepress dept. 15 years ago when I was hired. Took forever for those things to crap out. How is Xante now? Does anyone have any of their products now and love it, or hate it?
